Abstract

This major reassessment of novelist V.S. Naipaul's work argues that although Naipaul regards himself as "rootless ... without a past, without ancestors," his writing is in fact rooted in the literary and historical traditions of the Caribbean and can best be understood in the context of the larger field of postcolonial discourse. Covering in chronological order all of Naipaul's books, Selwyn R. Cudjoe charts the author's development from a position in which the tension between his Eastern and Western visions of the world created classics of world literature (A House for Mr. Biswas, The Mimic Men) to his progressive identification with "the dominant imperialist ideology and racist preoccupations of the age" (In a Free State, Guerrillas, A Bend in the River, Among the Believers). Cudjoe's analysis is grounded in contemporary literary theory, an understanding of Hinduism, and a thorough knowledge of West Indian literature and history. - Back cover.

Abstract

In de late Middeleeuwen ontstonden onder de bevolking van de steden in de zuidelijke Nederlanden nieuwe elites die zich van de gewone stadsbewoner trachtten te onderscheiden door het ontwerpen van een eigen cultuur. In De sneeuwpoppen van 1511 wordt zo'n beschavingsproces beschreven aan de hand van een wel zeer unieke bron: het absurdistische verslag op rijm van een massaal sneeuwfestival te Brussel in het jaar 1511.
